More than 700 Bangladeshi workers have stormed their country's embassy in Kuwait, causing damage inside. The rioters also slightly injured two Bangladeshi civilians who were visiting the embassy, Ambassador Nazrul Islam Khan told the BBC.
The embassy called the police, who managed to restore order and arrested some of the workers. The others fled.
Mr Islam told the BBC Bengali service that the motive for the attack was linked to wages not being paid.
The workers were employed by a Kuwaiti cleaning company and destroyed furniture, windows and documents, a security officer at the scene told the AFP news agency.
A spokesman for the protesters is reported to have complained that they had not been paid for the last five months.
